I think https://www.bcae1.com/carpetenclosure.htm is pretty good and has illustrations.   I just don't like the idea of using contact cement.  It stains through a lot of the carpets that are available.  I know, it happened to me.  But I found that using 3M 77 works great, spraying both the carpet back and the box and letting it set for a short time before adhering.  And if you can get the hang of double-cutting, you're off to a good start.  If you've ever been a seriously good paperhanger, you know how to double-cut.  That trick saves you from having the extra weight of the additional side walls to cover the carpet edges.
